< 撒迦利亚书 10 >
1 当春雨的时候, 你们要向发闪电的耶和华求雨。 他必为众人降下甘霖, 使田园生长菜蔬。
Ask ye from Yahweh rain, in the time of the latter rain, Yahweh, who causeth flashes of lightning, —and, rain in abundant showers, giveth he unto them, to every man, herbage in the field;
2 因为,家神所言的是虚空; 卜士所见的是虚假; 做梦者所说的是假梦。 他们白白地安慰人, 所以众人如羊流离, 因无牧人就受苦。
For, the household gods, have spoken vanity, and, the diviners, have had vision of falsehood, and, deceitful dreams, do they relate, vainly, do they console, —for this reason, have they moved about like a flock, they suffer ill, because there is no shepherd.
3 我的怒气向牧人发作; 我必惩罚公山羊; 因我—万军之耶和华 眷顾自己的羊群,就是犹大家, 必使他们如骏马在阵上。
Against the shepherds, is kindled mine anger, and, upon the leaders of the flock, will I bring punishment, —for Yahweh of hosts hath visited his flock, the house of Judah, and will make them like his noble horse in battle:
4 房角石、钉子、争战的弓, 和一切掌权的都从他而出。
From him, the commander, from him, the supporter, from him, the war-bow, —from him, shall proceed every one that driveth on, together;
5 他们必如勇士在阵上 将仇敌践踏在街上的泥土中。 他们必争战,因为耶和华与他们同在; 骑马的也必羞愧。
So shall they become like mighty ones, trampling on the mire of lanes, in battle, and they will fight because, Yahweh, is with them, —and will abash the riders of horses.
6 我要坚固犹大家,拯救约瑟家, 要领他们归回。 我要怜恤他们; 他们必像未曾弃绝的一样, 都因我是耶和华—他们的 神, 我必应允他们的祷告。
So will I make mighty ones of the house of Judah, and, the house of Joseph, will I save, and will cause them to continue, because I have had compassion upon them, So shall they be as though I had not rejected them, —for, I, Yahweh, will be their God, and will answer them;
7 以法莲人必如勇士; 他们心中畅快如同喝酒; 他们的儿女必看见而快活; 他们的心必因耶和华喜乐。
And they shall be as the mighty one of Ephraim, and their heart, shall rejoice, as through wine, —yea, their children, shall see and rejoice, their heart, shall exult, in Yahweh.
8 我要发嘶声,聚集他们, 因我已经救赎他们。 他们的人数必加增, 如从前加增一样。
I will signal for them, and will gather them, because I have ransomed them, —and they shall multiply, according as they have multiplied;
9 我虽然播散他们在列国中, 他们必在远方记念我。 他们与儿女都必存活,且得归回。
Though I scatter them among the peoples, yet, in places far away, shall they remember me, —and they shall live with their children, and shall return;
10 我必再领他们出埃及地, 招聚他们出亚述, 领他们到基列和黎巴嫩; 这地尚且不够他们居住。
And I will bring them back out of the land of Egypt, and, out of Assyria, will I gather them, —and, into the land of Gilead and Lebanon, will I bring them, and [room] shall not be found for them:
11 耶和华必经过苦海,击打海浪, 使尼罗河的深处都枯干。 亚述的骄傲必致卑微; 埃及的权柄必然灭没。
Though he pass through a sea of affliction, yet shall he smite the sea, with its waves, and the roaring depths of the Nile, shall appear dry, —So shall be brought down the pride of Assyria, and, the sceptre of Egypt, shall depart;
12 我必使他们倚靠我,得以坚固; 一举一动必奉我的名。 这是耶和华说的。
And I will make them mighty in Yahweh, and, in his name, shall they march to and fro, —Declareth Yahweh.
